WARRANTY OF ITEMS
5. Warranty of Items
All items are sold AS IS, WHERE IS, with NO WARRANTY, express or implied. All guarantees of authenticity, express or implied, are hereby disclaimed. Dimensions given for items may be approximate measurements. Do not assume a lot consists of more than one item simply because they are connected or pictured together. Please read the descriptions carefully to determine what is included in each lot. There shall be no returns or exchanges of items purchased by You. Kaufman makes all efforts to accurately describe items, but You accept any and all responsibility for viewing, verifying, and purchasing items.
5.1 Changes in Circumstances
All aspects of an online auction are subject to change without prior notice. Kaufman reserves the right to (a) add or remove items from an online auction; (b) split or combine lots; (c) make changes to the online auction ending times and pick-up date and/or time; (d) cancel, suspend, extend, or reschedule an individual item and/or online auction event; and (e) take any other action Kaufman deems necessary to affect the fair conduct of an online auction. BIDDING INSTRUCTIONS
6. Binding Offer
Placing a bid constitutes a binding offer between You the Bidder and the Owner/Seller that cannot be rescinded or retracted. If the bid is accepted by Kaufman (as determined by Kaufman in its sole discretion), You are contractually obligated to buy the item at the price stated as Your bid, as well as other applicable taxes, fees, and buyer premiums stated in the specific online auction you choose to participate in.
6.1 With Reserve Per Ohio Law all sales are with reserve unless otherwise stated. Bids remain binding upon the bidder(s) until seller has confirmed or declined bids within 24 hours unless otherwise stated.
6.2 Participation
PRIOR TO BIDDING, IT IS IMPORTANT THAT YOU FAMILIARIZE YOURSELF WITH THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS, ALL OF THE INFORMATION LOCATED ON https://www.kaufman-auctions.com/support (AND LINKS THEREIN), AND THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS
STATED IN THE SPECIFIC ONLINE AUCTION YOU CHOOSE TO PARTICIPATE IN. ENSURE THAT THE AUCTION PICK-UP DATE AND TIME WORKS WITH YOUR SCHEDULE BEFORE BIDDING. KAUFMAN CANNOT GUARANTEE THAT YOU WILL BE THE WINNER OF ANY ITEM. ADDITIONALLY, TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE IN RESPECT TO ALL PROVISIONS OF THESE TERMS & CONDITIONS.
6.3 Placing a Bid
Depending on the specific online auction, You may place bids in the following ways: (1) Max Bid; (2) ForceBid/-JumpBid; and (3) Ultimate Choice Bidding Platform.
Max Bid allows You to enter Your Max Bid and the system will continue to bid for You by increments until it reaches Your Max
Bid.
ForceBid/JumpBid is a bidding strategy by which a bidder increases the bid by more than the next accepted bid (for example, placing your bid at $150 when the next accepted bid is $125). This practice is used by some bidders to discourage others from bidding in hopes of acquiring an item at a lower price. There are many theories on the effectiveness of this practice and if You choose to apply this practice, You do so at Your own discretion.
If the Ultimate Choice Bidding Platform is being utilized, there is no max bidding feature. Once You have clicked on the lot or combination of lots and click get price, You then have two options. You can simply click submit bid to enter Your bid at the amount displayed or You can enter a higher bid in the space provided. Your bid will be implemented at this amount. This is not max bidding, so the bid will be placed at the exact amount You enter.
If the specific auction You choose to participate in is online only, bidding will begin at a certain time and date and end at a certain time and date. Depending on the specific auction You choose to participate in, should a bid be placed within a certain amount of minutes before the auction’s ending time, the ending time will automatically be extended from the time that bid is placed. The time will continue to extend until the bidding activity has stopped. The online only auction closes when the timer on the auction hits zero. The winning bidder of an item is the last bidder the bid history recorded before the timer hits zero. Kaufman, in its sole discretion, may determine when and how long it chooses to extend the auction’s ending time.
If the specific auction You choose to participate is online and live (simulcast), pre-bidding will begin at a certain time and date and end at a certain time and date. The actual live portion of the auction in which online and live bidding will occur will begin at a certain time and date and end on the same date at a later time.
You can read more about auction terminology and the bidding functions and how they operate at: https://www.kaufman-auctions.com/support/terminology/;
https://www.kaufman-auctions.com/support/bidding/how-to/; and https://www.kaufman-auctions.com/support/bidding/. (i) Outbid Alerts will be sent via email to You if You have been outbid.
Page 4 of 5
(ii) High Bid Alerts will be sent via email to You if You are the high bidder. (iii) Low Bid Alerts will be sent via email to You if You are the low bidder.

6.1 With Reserve Per Ohio Law all sales are with reserve unless otherwise stated. Bids remain binding upon the bidder(s) until seller has confirmed or declined bids within 24 hours unless otherwise stated.
6.2 Participation
PRIOR TO BIDDING, IT IS IMPORTANT THAT YOU FAMILIARIZE YOURSELF WITH THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS, ALL OF THE INFORMATION LOCATED ON https://www.kaufman-auctions.com/support (AND LINKS THEREIN), AND THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS
STATED IN THE SPECIFIC ONLINE AUCTION YOU CHOOSE TO PARTICIPATE IN. ENSURE THAT THE AUCTION PICK-UP DATE AND TIME WORKS WITH YOUR SCHEDULE BEFORE BIDDING. KAUFMAN CANNOT GUARANTEE THAT YOU WILL BE THE WINNER OF ANY ITEM. ADDITIONALLY, TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE IN RESPECT TO ALL PROVISIONS OF THESE TERMS & CONDITIONS.
6.3 Placing a Bid
Depending on the specific online auction, You may place bids in the following ways: (1) Max Bid; (2) ForceBid/-JumpBid; and (3) Ultimate Choice Bidding Platform.
Max Bid allows You to enter Your Max Bid and the system will continue to bid for You by increments until it reaches Your Max
Bid.
ForceBid/JumpBid is a bidding strategy by which a bidder increases the bid by more than the next accepted bid (for example, placing your bid at $150 when the next accepted bid is $125). This practice is used by some bidders to discourage others from bidding in hopes of acquiring an item at a lower price. There are many theories on the effectiveness of this practice and if You choose to apply this practice, You do so at Your own discretion.
If the Ultimate Choice Bidding Platform is being utilized, there is no max bidding feature. Once You have clicked on the lot or combination of lots and click get price, You then have two options. You can simply click submit bid to enter Your bid at the amount displayed or You can enter a higher bid in the space provided. Your bid will be implemented at this amount. This is not max bidding, so the bid will be placed at the exact amount You enter.
If the specific auction You choose to participate in is online only, bidding will begin at a certain time and date and end at a certain time and date. Depending on the specific auction You choose to participate in, should a bid be placed within a certain amount of minutes before the auction’s ending time, the ending time will automatically be extended from the time that bid is placed. The time will continue to extend until the bidding activity has stopped. The online only auction closes when the timer on the auction hits zero. The winning bidder of an item is the last bidder the bid history recorded before the timer hits zero. Kaufman, in its sole discretion, may determine when and how long it chooses to extend the auction’s ending time.
If the specific auction You choose to participate is online and live (simulcast), pre-bidding will begin at a certain time and date and end at a certain time and date. The actual live portion of the auction in which online and live bidding will occur will begin at a certain time and date and end on the same date at a later time.
